I Am Having the Best Week

I am having the best week and this is no an April Fool’s joke!

This awesome week started with Tall Heights and Darlingside’s show – I’ve just been so hyped up since the show I cannot stop listening to them. I even learned to play Ancestor – Darlingside and Learn Again – Tall Heights on guitar and ukulele.

Next comes Saturday, the day of the AT&T Back On My Feet 5-Miler. I decided to volunteer at the food and water tent so I could watch the race. It was such a freezing and windy day but the race was so fun and there was so much energy. As my shift started, boxes after boxes of Philly Pretzel Factory’s pretzels were brought in.

We had so much food! Even by the end of the race after all the runner has gotten their pretzel, I think we still have almost half of what we started with left.

Next on Sunday, I decided to hit up more coffee shops in the city. I stopped by Greenstreet Coffee Co. and got a hot chocolate. It was delicious and had the most beautiful design.

For dinner, I grabbed Honeygrow on my way home. I have been meaning to try this place for a while and found the concept of using locally grown foods and transforming them into DIY stir-fry, salads, and smoothies.

When Monday came, while I was feeling lethargic, I got up at 5 AM to run with my Back on My Feet Team. We jogged about 2 miles and it was just what I need to feel energized for the week. I even got up today go to again in the morning. Since I usually only go on Mondays this was a great accomplishment for me.

Today’s run was a special one too. My team first met up and then we jogged down to Love Park to meet up with all the other teams in the city. Then we all headed toward the Art Museum and ran up the Rocky steps. When I got to the top, I turned around and was greeted by this view:

Just this view alone made this morning so worth it and I am so glad to have joined this awesome organization and meet so many people passionate about running and social issues.
